The bright and joyful Maslenitsa holiday is just around the corner. He began his procession from ancient times, and is still one of his favorite celebrations, which have preserved in their ritual a number of elements described in Slavic mythology. Pancakes are called the main attribute of Shrovetide. They are prepared during the Maslenitsa week, which, by the way, in the new 2018 will last from 12 to 18 February inclusive. Pancakes with honey, homemade sour cream or jam are unchanging classics that will never lose their relevance, but I really want to please family and friends with something new. What fillings will adults and children like?
Chicken liver filling
Chicken liver is a rich source of vitamins, especially B group, minerals and essential amino acids. The listed substances, in turn, have a positive effect on the work of important organs and systems of the human body, including strengthening the immune system and the circulatory system, improving vision and brain activity, removing salts of heavy metals, and preventing the development of cancer.
To prepare the filling, you need a minimum of products: boiled chicken liver, carrots, eggs and onions fried in butter. Finely chop all components and mix or pass through a meat grinder until a pasty consistency is obtained. Use garlic, fresh herbs (parsley and dill), spices, and Provencal herbs as flavoring agents.
Mushroom filling
Mushrooms are an irreplaceable food product. They contain all the best from nature, namely easily digestible protein, vitamins E, C, D and group B, macro- and microelements, polyunsaturated fatty acids and essential amino acids. Depending on the name, the indicators of the listed substances differ, but in any case, mushrooms are extremely beneficial to health. It has been proven that people who regularly consume forest dwellers are less likely to experience cancer.
To prepare the filling, you will need fresh frozen or fresh mushrooms, carrots and onions. Chop the mushrooms, simmer until half cooked in olive oil, grate the carrots, finely chop the onion and combine with the mushrooms. Simmer until cooked. If you wish, you can scroll the filling through a meat grinder or using a kitchen mixer.
Goat cheese filling
Goat cheese is a rich source of calcium, which is required to strengthen bones, nails and teeth, which is especially important for a growing body. The product will bring invaluable benefits to the elderly. It will also be a great help in restoring the intestinal microflora. This aspect is due to the content of beneficial bacteria, which accelerate the process of assimilation and digestion of food.
Goat cheese is an excellent filling for pancakes. Such a tandem will be appreciated even by the most fastidious gourmets. It is very simple to prepare the filling. Combine goat cheese, boiled egg white and chopped greens, beat with a mixer until smooth and fill the pancakes. If you have time and desire, put the stuffed pancakes in the oven for 5-7 minutes, after sprinkling them with olive oil.
Red fish filling
Trout or salmon are a great pancake ally. Meanwhile, red fish has a beneficial effect on the human body. It contains a huge amount of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, minerals, easily digestible protein, vitamins, essential amino acids and extractive compounds. The latter, in turn, improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, including normalizing intestinal motility.
To prepare the filling, you can use both steamed fish and lightly salted fish. Fish is best paired with cream or curd cheese. It will add spice and unforgettable taste to the delicacy. You can also add some herbs and garlic to the filling. The second will be to the liking of spicy lovers.
